Whom Gods Annoy

Location: LeyawiinEveryone in town is overcome by the stench they smell when they pass by Rosentia Gallenus's house. Somebody needs to do something about it and, since you're a hero, you're just the man/women/beast to take care of it. Inside of her house, you'll find Rosentia surrounded by four Everscamps. These creatures will reappear if you kill them and do nothing but follow Rosentia around. Talk to her to learn that she has possession of a cursed staff, which is the reason these four scamps are forever following her. She can't seem to let go of it either and desparately needs your help.

Rosentia directs you to her trusted friend, Alves Uvenim at the Mages Guild. Go talk to her and you'll learn more about the staff. It can only be given to someone else if they accept it willingly. It makes someone move slower and keeps the four scamps at the heels permanently. The only way to get rid of it is to return it to Darkfathom Cave where it came from. Armed with this information, go back to Rosentia to tell her what you know.

Rosentia asks you to take the staff from her and return it to Sheogorath's Shrine in the cave. As soon as you tell her that you will, the scamps will begin following you. They will reappear anytime you kill them, but you can soul trap them if you like. They won't fight for you, though they do make good blockers in tight spots.

When you've tired of the scamps, start moving towards Darkfathom Cave, east of Leyawiin. Inside, you'll find assorted Daedric creatures that level with you and little in the means of treasure. Make your way down to the bottom of the cave and you'll find Sheogorath's Shrine. Your journal will update saying that you can drop the staff now and several new Daedric creatures will rush in for a mini-battle. Get rid of the staff while you can and exit the cave. When you return to Rosentia, she rewards you with the Ring of Eidolon's Edge which will fortify your Block and Blade 15 points each.
